Steve Smith: Drumset Technique / History of The U.S. BeatPlenty of lessons on technique. A valuable reference on drumset history. Plus, loads of topnotch performances by Steve Smith's fusion group Vital Information. This video is drumming info overload. Great stuff!

Modern Approach to New Orleans Drumming by Stanton Moore- Supposing you have a good command on some of the basic rudiments (i.e.Single & double strokes,Paradiddles) this DVD is a good start to learn to improvise your own groove.It covers a wide range of World Music such as Samba,Funk,Guaguanco,etc. mixed with New Orleans' flavor.(intermediate to advance players)

That video (drumset techniques) by Steve Smith is the best I've seen so far.(basic to advance,..more on the Jazz type of playing)

Gregg Bissonett's "Musical drumming in different styles" is also a must for a serious drummer.-For Intermediate to advance level,covers almost any musical style.

As much as possible, I try to watch every drum instructional video that I can lay my hands into. I even search on YouTube for excerpts and various lessons. I think every instructional video offers something special, and hopefully we can pick up something from it and integrate it into our drumming.

So far, the most valuable instructional video that I've ever watched is Steve Smith's Drumset Technique & History of the US Beat. It's a two-part DVD set and it's fully loaded --- lessons on technique, history of the drumset and modern/US music, excellent performances of Steve (solos) and his fusion group Vital Information, bonus behind-the-scene features... It's very inspirational and informative.
